Schmaltzy & Princie: Diary of a Not-So-Great Daddy's Girl

The show is so genuine. You truly get a sense of how much MaryLee's father meant to her. It was captivating to see MaryLee battle with writer's block only to discover the real battle is with her grief and guilt.... full review

A wonderful heartfelt and personal story performed beautifully by MaryLee!... full review

Mary Lee gracefully moves on the stage telling us the most intimate and hilarious stories and her journey to becoming a writer. More importantly she tells the story of the love from her dad and how to release guilt and learn forgiveness. I laughed, I cried, I was moved. A very touching journey from a fantastic writer and actress.... full review

Schmaltzy & Prince was an ABSOLUTE treat! Just as the artist intended to do; to make the audiences laugh, cry, connect, relate, and everything in between, literally. MaryLee was so raw and vulnerable in her writing and her performance, the audiences were taken through a theatrical journey of her insecurities, guilt, deepest fears, the overcoming of these fears, inspirations, then came the determined aspirations. For artists and audiences going through the same fear of criticism, rejection, or fear of being vulnerable and putting ourselves out there, this show will hit you to the core. MaryLee is a talented writer and actor. This show was truly an inspiration and a must see!... full review

This is a gem of a show. Funny, moving and personal. I loved the framing device - she writes her screenplay and then acts out the parts of her life during the process of writing. She does a great job of creating the various voices both external and internal. An emotional and moving show told with grace and skill.... full review

Such a sweet story about a self-described not-so-great daddy's girl who is being too hard on herself! By the end, seeing the journey and the visual love between father and daughter was endearing AF. Loved it!... full review
